Best Tuning App Ever
MaddProfessor
“I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”
What Is A Marine chords by 
Ernie Maresca
N/A•
Verse 1
Am
D
G
Between the
security of childhood
and responsibilities of adulthood
Am
D
comes the fascinating group of humans
Am
D
called Marines.
Am
They come in all sizes an
A
D
d shapes and uniforms,
and can usually be found on ships,
G
in bunkers,
embassy duty,
in love, in bars, in jail, or in debt.
Towns tolerate them,
and the government pays them.
Am
A Marine is a brave man
D
with a tattooed arm,
Am
D
deadly with a deck of cards,
Am
an occasional drinker,
a defender of our country
D
with a playboy pin -up in his pocket.
G
A marine has the slyness of a fox,
the energy of a bull,
and the appetite of a bowery bum.
He dislikes answering questions or letters,
Am
wearing a uniform,
D
Am
the superior officers, and revelry.
D
Am
No one else can cram into his pockets
a church key,
D
a crushed pack of camels,
G
a set of chopsticks,
a cigarette lighter, a cone,
an autographed picture of his girl,
and a few cents from last week's pay.
Still, he wears his uniform
in a military manner
with cut -off sleeves
Am
D
and a snack from barbed wire,
Am
always keeping on the alert
D
Am
and observing every girl with
insight or hearing.
D
A Marine likes to spend his money
G
on beer, whiskey, cards, and women,
the rest he spends foolishly.
If he's not requesting special liberty,
he's demanding leave.
Upon denial of these things,
Am
he will request a transfer.
D
Only a marine can sit in
Am
a muddy foxhole
D
with a can of ham and lima
Am
beans in his hand,
a soggy pack of C -rad cigarettes
D
in his pocket,
rain pouring down,
G
and still complain that he's not getting
Bbm
Eb
enough benefits.
Ab
A marine is a magical creature.
You can take him off your mailing list,
Bbm
but not out of your heart.
Eb
You can lock him out of your house,
Bbm
but not out of your mind.
Eb
Bbm
You might as well give up.
He's your love away from home.
Eb
A good -for -nothin' housewrecker.
Ab
But all your heartaches are smoothed out
when he wanders home
and looks at you
with tired, bloodshot eyes
Bbm
Eb
and says to you, Hi, Mom.
Ab
I love you.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
